Caring for Box Calf, Togo & Epsom

The habits that keep an Hermès leather looking archival for decades.

Handling

Always handle by the handle or strap — never the body panels — to prevent finger-oil migration. Rotate pieces every 4–6 weeks if kept in storage.

Cleaning

A soft, slightly damp cloth removes surface dust. Avoid every commercial leather cleaner unless specifically formulated for the leather type. When in doubt, consult a spa specialist.

Reshaping & Stuffing

Store with the original shaper or acid-free tissue to hold structure. Never hang a Birkin or Kelly by the handles for extended periods — the leather memory will strain.
